Yeah I was super pissed to find out Luc is not pushing reg seeds anymore, i think you can get them if you look around, but they all seem to be phasing them out. It looks like an Auto and Fem market for the buyer.
sadly...femmed and herm go hand in hand and rightly so....
I've always preferred playing with reg F2's...you see everything the F1 has to offer. IMO, the hidden gems are most always found in the F2 gen.
after my grade 10 biology teacher started explaining what it takes... we both looked at each other sideways and said...Yeaaaa... Good luck to them with that. Mother nature took how long? and these idiots think they have it all figured out...I've always preferred playing with reg F2's...you see everything the F1 has to offer. IMO, the hidden gems are most always found in the F2 gen.
The point I was trying to make, was not everyone has time/space/knowledge for sexing plants, and that's where good Fem'd seed can be useful for many folks.
Too bad seed Co's didn't market their Fem'd seed with that warning...maybe one day?
There's still lots of regs around and in my experience many of the most respected breeders doing it don't even think about feminizing.
It's certainly a complicated hobby, and definitely not for everyone.
And...lots of WELL respected breeders do feminized breeding as well, and do a good job at it...that's all I was sayin'!
For sure. I agree.
we have a couple early outdoor strains at rcmc. atm our main focus is an Amstel Gold/Burmese x Nepalese pm resistant line that we call I-Spice. in the new year we will make a bunch of new hybrids with some different ibl males and various proven females. over time these will be tested and the most interesting combos will be recreated and offered as retail seed, and possibly used as foundation for new stable lines if they are found to be interesting enough. good things usually take time, effort and a lot of testing, though gems can pop up in the most unexpected of places.
the stress of feminization is an interesting test, plants that don't feminize easy are usually the ones we want to work with. personally I don't bother with feminization as I am looking for genetic adaptations, which imho can only be achieved through male female genetic interaction.
All strains of Cannabis carry the Hermie trait. Trying to breed it out is impossible with current breeding methods. It's especially dominant in pure Sativa genetics. But, even if you let Indy Dom's flower past their peak, they will almost always start throwing nanners. Tough to fool Mother Nature.
Luc's working on more regs I hear. supposedly he keeps a big harem of sensi Star and is coming up with a new batch in the foreseeable future
I have a Kali Mist Mom that came from Serious Fem'd stock....way gooood keeper!
